Merry Christmas to all of you. To add a misery loves company story... my thompson fund got raided by my wife when she broke the washing machine (well, it probably broke itself) and so we spent christmas eve buying a new one of those. I have to keep telling myself that it does have a DRUM of sorts that spins at 1000 rounds per minute, but it would look kind of silly on Mikes calendar.Dan

Did get a really cool WWII K-Bar that was from a past on Marine. My wife's first father-in-law had it in WWII. He's been gone 20+ years now. My wife's daughter, the grand daughter, got in when her grandmother passed just a few months ago, and now she gave it to me to put with my WWII M1. Now that was Kool. I have to buy my own guns. I did get a 10/22 to give to my grandson when he comes over.
